Show off your gardening skills in the Loveland Reporter-Herald's "Pick of the Week" photo contest.

Voting has started in this week's poll, and yes, we got to it a day late. Voters can vote once every 12 hours until this Thursday at 4 p.m. (instead of the usual Wednesday).

We accept picture submissions each Wednesday through Sunday. To be considered, send your photos (limit of one per week) to news@reporter-herald.com, with the subject line "Pick of the Week."

In your email, include a first name, last name and caption that has the name of the plant pictured. A poll of the submitted photos will post online Monday. Each poll will end Wednesday at 4 p.m. Viewers can vote once a day. The photo with the most votes will be published online and in the newspaper in Friday's News By: You section. We will tweet some of the pictures every week with the hashtag #LovelandPick. Also, look for the photos on Facebook and Pinterest.
